The Africa Women Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum (AWIEF) has opened nominations for its annual AWIEF Awards, which celebrate the achievements and contributions of women founders and entrepreneurs across Africa.
AWIEF is a pan-African organisation dedicated to empowering women economically by closing gender gaps and promoting business leadership and entrepreneurship across the continent.
The annual AWIEF Awards honour African women who are driving inclusive economic growth and development through their visionary leadership and innovative business practices. There are six categories, and in addition AWIEF has introduced the Male Ally Award to recognise male leaders whose actions and influence have contributed meaningfully to advancing women’s economic empowerment and leadership.
The winners of the AWIEF Awards 2026 will be announced at a high-profile awards ceremony and gala dinner on November 11 at the grand finale of the AWIEF 2026 Conference at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) in Cape Town, South Africa.
Nominations are open here until August 3.
